She has over 4 years of work experience in India and Italy and has worked on projects of varying scales from signage design to residence, and college campuses up to large-scale urban design projects.

Her master’s thesis was on ‘Public Spaces as Cultural Infrastructure’, where she explored temporary public space usage in the walled city of Ahmedabad.
